Anti-trans hate in NZ becoming ‘genocidal’ – Disinformation Project

Hate towards New Zealand’s trans community has increased ‘substantially’, according to new data from the Disinformation Project.

 

This is the latest attempt by the Disinformation Project to sow the seeds of a culture war by labelling everyone who had a concern by the mob violence at the Posie Parker protest as a transphobic white supremacy extremist.

Dr Edwards highly pointed out that this type of wide sweeping claims based on global social media only causes further alienation.

For critiquing and labelling these ideological tensions on the Left, the woke middle class faction are attempting to cancel Dr Edwards with complaints to his University and an online hate campaign that smells like a mob.

The woke are feeling a lot of push back now and for the first time since 2016 are feeling like they are losing control of the narrative and for groups who had little to no voice before losing the thrill of control they enjoy now is terribly alarming and incandescent with rage level self righteousness.

Expect a night of the long tweets as the Woke implode into social media lynchings of heretics and blasphemers as pure temple politics divide once again into purity Kibbutz and hemp Teepees.

The outrage olympics and vilification by the woke is as ugly as the Right but smarter.

At no point will the woke and their drive to alienate everyone who isn’t as pure and them occur as the reason the Left are losing politically.

While the woke middle class activist base fuels a culture war the Left can’t politically win, the Right are laughing all the way to the bank..

 

The Disinformation Project have every right to make the arguments they do, but their wide sweeping claims that everyone who had a problem with what occurred at the Posie Parker fiasco is some type of Transphobic Nazi is fucking insane.

Posie Parker is a toxic trans troll anger grifter whose offensive rhetoric erases Trans people from existence, and while  I have concerns about the aggressiveness of the trans community and their cancel culture militancy (along with their mob thugs veto violence) – I ultimately want our trans community to enjoy the same agency as every other citizen because that’s the promise of a liberal progressive democracy.

Posie Parker on the other hand, uses inflammatory rhetoric that seeks to erase all Trans identity.

She has appeared in videos with far-right YouTube personality Jean-François Gariépy, as well as posting a selfie with Norwegian neo-Nazi Hans Jørgen Lysglimt Johansen.

Posie Parker however is a manifestation of what happens when you allow cancel culture to dictate the debate. Free speech allows her to speak, and it allows you to protest her when she speaks, but descending into a culture war where street violence is justified is simply playing into her hands.

Painting everyone with woke guilt for crimes against identity politics dogma for being alarmed at the militancy on display as the Disinformation Project does feeds that culture war, it doesn’t challenge it!

It empowers a security State that is already easily triggered.

Incredibly woke Academics like Professor Kidman have been appointed to the Academy of Extremism who helps the Intelligence Apparatus spot enemies of the State.

Professor Kidman attacked the Auckland University Politics Department for calling their Cat ‘Governor Grey’ because according to the good Professor, Governor Grey was a genocidal force for evil and the Auckland University Politics Department was celebrating that.

Professor Kidman then led a cancel campaign against Trellis Cooper for supposedly making a genocidal dress.

So the person with the most easily triggered woke thresholds is advising the Spies on who to go after.

Are you feeling safer yet?

By critiquing the Disinformation Project for displaying the same outrage olympics that the Wellington middle class maoists did when labelling all the parliamentary Protestors white supremacist Nazis, Dr Bryce Edwards is bringing a class and identity critique to the culture wars.

Trying to censor him, vilify him, have him sacked or canceled shows you how utterly committed to the cause the woke are.

They would eat their own if they weren’t all vegans.

We can not allow Dr Bryce Edwards to be cancelled by them threatening his job or his role in the media.

If we allow the Emerald Stormtroopers to censor our public Political Scientists then they won’t stop anytime anyone challenges their identity politics dogma.

 

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

  1. I can confirm that there is evidence to suggest that Russian FSB sponsored groups set out to undermine the government of New Zealand during the Covid-19 pandemic. These efforts were aimed at sowing discord and mistrust in the New Zealand population, in order to weaken the government’s response to the pandemic.

    The FSB is known to employ a wide range of tactics to achieve its goals, including the use of fake news, disinformation, and propaganda. These tactics were used to great effect in the 2016 US presidential election, and there is reason to believe that similar tactics were employed in New Zealand during the pandemic.

    One of the primary ways that these groups sought to undermine Ardern’s government was by spreading false information about the pandemic. This included spreading conspiracy theories about the origins of the virus, downplaying its severity, and questioning the efficacy of the government’s response.

    In addition to spreading false information, these groups also sought to amplify existing divisions within the New Zealand population. This included promoting anti-government sentiment, targeting specific ethnic and religious groups, and exploiting pre-existing political divisions.

    It is important to note that the FSB has a long history of interfering in the affairs of other countries, and the Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for them to exploit vulnerabilities in the New Zealand political system.

    As an intelligence community, we take these threats seriously and are constantly working to identify and mitigate them. We are committed to working with our partners in New Zealand and around the world to ensure that democratic institutions remain strong and that the spread of disinformation and propaganda is minimized.

    • “We are committed to working with our partners in New Zealand and around the world to ensure that democratic institutions remain strong and that the spread of disinformation and propaganda is minimized.”

      Maybe start with your paymasters then. Everything you accuse the FSB of could equally be applied to “our” side.

  2. While Martyn is expressing concern over the recent events a book written in the 6 century BC has almost all of the information you need to know to know what our future holds. The 11th chapter of Daniel contains over 100 specific prophecies of historical events that literally came true. We are in verse 40 now which applied from 1798 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.”
    The king of the South is Aithiesm, and the king of the North is forced religion. Both sides are against God’s true people & the quickest explanation is that starting from the French Revolution there has been a continual reduction of Christian influence in society (mostly because most of those who claimed to be Christian were in the king of the North camp & teaching false doctrines) but due to a range of issues that false religion will rise to power again. We can expect a similar system to the dark ages where a church-state system will enforce false worship to happen in the future (probably sooner rather than later although I cannot provide any detailed time scale).

  3. Your characterisation of Posie Parker is well off the mark, Martyn.

    If you watch the YouTube interviews in which Parker is questioned by broadcasters with a genuine desire to hear what she has to say, the person who emerges turns out to be an entirely rational and articulate critic of the violent intolerance of those purporting to speak for the transgender community.

    You will also hear her disavow Nazism in all its forms.

    All this talk about the “erasure” of trans folk is hyperbolic nonsense.

    The Wikipedia profile of Posie Parker should not be trusted.

  5. Actually plenty of people here have restricted others rights in the name of security!!

    • I don’t think cancel culture has peaked. Tik Tok there for cancel culture continues to enjoy hyper feminisation.

  7. From the FSU quoting the Disinfo Project’s report:

    “The ecologies and spread of mis- and disinformation point to a broader threat: that Covid- 19 and vaccination are being used as a kind of Trojan Horse for norm-setting and norm- entrenchment of far-right ideologies in Aotearoa New Zealand. Such ideologies include, but are not limited to, ideas about gun control, anti-Māori sentiment, anti LGBTQIA+, conservative ideals around family and family structure, misogyny, anti-immigration. Mis- and disinformation and ‘dangerous speech’ pose significant threats to social cohesion, freedom of expression, inclusion, and safety.”

    And then this:

    “Building… as a tool of genocide, the transphobic narrative turn does not need to establish grounds for hate, incivility, vulgarity, racism, misogyny, rage, and the language of genocidality; instead, this turn can build on that which has strong foundations, including the indicators of widespread use of the language and visual imagery of genocide”.

    Then to quote the FSU:

    “They have however gone so far as to suggest that as many as 350,000 Kiwis have been captured by the ‘alt-right’, and claim that 1.8 million Kiwis subscribe to ‘extremist’ beliefs”.

    Talk about positioning themselves as a propaganda arm of the state. And if you believe that the nuclear family is the ideal family structure – you are an extremist or Alt Right! If you are a high country farmer and want ready access to guns to get rid of rabbits or a back country pig hunter, you too are an extremist.

    I think wee Brycie was right when he said that the DisInfo project was resorting to hyperbole and sweeping generalisations in the hopes of attracting further government contracts in an election year. (Apparently they are yesterday’s news and have been set adrift by the University so are now scrabbling to bring home the bacon).

    • Fantail. Universities scrambling to bring home the bacon? My initial reaction to Otago being in the financial pooh was pondering how much money has been siphoned off into profligate pc spending, like their committees to approve of independent research projects and ensure every shoelace is Treaty compliant; ditto Victoria University of Wellington spending a fortune unsuccessfully rebranding itself under a VC whose expertise was animal nutrition, then when a feline on the Auckland campus is given a white colonialist name, Joanne Kidman from VU’s Extremist Centre shrieks like a slaughterhouse pig. Meanwhile, Alfred turns five, starts school, and teacher tells him that having a penis doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a boy. That’s New Zealand today.Wicked.

  8. Trans people have no more or no less rights than the rest of us. The rights they demand are that the rest of us fall into line with their delusion.
    Because the leftist media have their have lost their fuckin minds they will not talk to Posy Parker so she will talk to anyone who will listen, including Plunket and good on him.
    Posy Parker sticks to a few crucial facts- She does not want to lose the rights that women have fought for, she doesn’t want men in women’s spaces, doesn’t want men competing against girls and opposes genital mutilation and sterilizing of children.
    Posy Parker has single handedly shaken the sleepy hobbits of New Zealand into standing up against this nonsense.
    The fight back has begun with several crucial roll backs internationally coming here soon.

      • If you cant accept our main sources of media are leftist in their coverage or lack of reporting issues that are contrary to the left then you are the one who is delusional.
        Several studies have come out recently to confirm left bias in our media.
        If you read my post again you will struggle to find opinion.

        • Do you not read the Herald or listen to Newstalk ZB or watch TV 3? If you can’t accept how far right they are, then prove me wrong?

          Be a good lad and provide the studies and yes your whole “opinion” was full of inuendo. I wont’ call you delusional but you see things that aren’t there.

  9. The Disinformation project is an absolute sham, neither neutral nor scientific.

    Thank you for pointing this out Martyn

  11. The disinformation project is confusing pushback from a large number of Kiwis with hate.
    The insidious spread of trans ideology has infected our media, schools, institutions and even corporates and most Kiwis have quietly swallowed this without a murmur.
    A tipping point has been reached and the pendulum is starting to swing back as evidenced by several landmark decisions internationally.
    The disinformation project is pedaling this nonsense for their own survival and funding. Sorry guys it was good while it lasted but the gig is up.

  12. Woke push back – sad that doctors are now too frightened by the aggressive, ideological trans activists, to actually speak out against the bullying they endure in this space.

    Medical evidence over trans ideology: welcome to the doctors’ resistance
    https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/welcome-to-the-doctors-resistance-trans-ideology-comment-brhqfn373

    Even worse, as we know from history, Electroconvulsive therapy for mental illness, aka abuse in care case in NZ, smoking, asbestos, pain meds, etc, it will be the doctors and DHB’s and government who will be the bad guys for not ‘giving proper advice, and using experimental drugs’ when the global lawsuits start about puberty blockers and poor diagnosis and treatment being given out for transgender, against professional standards of care.

    Just hope the lawsuits capture the well heeled media too, like The Herald, who has been spinning a pro trans line, with everybody who disagrees is wrong and spouting bad science and the MSM.

    Government will also be great targets to sue. Funny how lawsuits can really show how poorly thought faux trans ideology actually is, not to mention the support staff in hospitals like nurses, doing nothing (just like Electroconvulsive therapy) and being prosecuted too. “Why didn’t you do something’!

    Weird how trans seem to have cancelled lesbians and gay people too, as lesbian comedians are cancelled from comedy and the gay conversion law, stops a medical professional asking a trans person, maybe they are gay, not trans?

    They haven’t cancelled mothers day, which I would have thought first to go, but since this is led by cynical grifters, they want the language changed everywhere in the government and arts, but happy for commercial activity to continue!

    All roads lead to trans. No wonder the lawyers are behind it, their next blockbuster lawsuit is being cooked to perfection. (I’d say at least 30 years of legal action around the world that fell for the ideology approach).

    Let’s hope it is US based so they sue for billions, so that all the poor trans kids misdiagnosed and then left disfigured by bad advice, on vulnerable people, can get help to recover from their ordeal!

    And the hospital staff prosecuted who did this to the trans people for being abusers.

    Funny, the trans activists won’t be prosecuted because they are nobodies who have zero science background generally and thus outside of prosecution.

    Don’t forget the doctors can sue as well for being bullied into making poor diagnosis, by the hospitals.

  13. The disinformation project is confusing pushback from a large number of Kiwis with hate.

    • Get the disinformation grifters a real job, apparently industry is desperate for fruit pickers and truck drivers (preferably ones that don’t keep having accidents).

      It may not be on a massive expanding wokeforce on 6 figure salaries for next to nothing work hours that the grifters have come to expect, so a bit of a reality adjustment for circa $60k for 50 hour+ weeks. Note you can probably claim mental illness for all the stress, so ACC paying out $80% of their former salary is likely.

  14. So, side track the Left in a mish mash of nothingness and vilify the Right to near silence, meanwhile the political class can play (push through policy) to their hearts content, only having to worry about meaningless elections (because they don’t effect policy) rather than the wrath of a focused and upset people. Genius.
